T0BUTYLCATECHOL Resistant O-Rings and Seals
T0butylcatechol, also known as 1,2,3-tributylbenzene-4,5-diol, is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is widely used as a starting material in organic synthesis and as a fuel additive, as well as in the manufacture of dyes, plastics, and insecticides.
When rubber materials are exposed to t0butylcatechol, the rubber can become brittle and prone to cracking. Over time, the rubber may become discolored or start to degrade. In addition, t0butylcatechol can cause swelling and softening of the rubber, resulting in a loss of strength and durability. This can lead to the rubber material becoming deformed and losing its sealing properties.
